Today was still mostly spent resting, I had some coughing fits last night that kept my wife awake and I’d like to knock this thing out completely. Yesterday I got some smaller tasks done that had been waiting awhile and the longer a task sits undone the harder it becomes to start. Our bathroom didn’t have a toilet paper roll holder, it was only two screws to hang it, but day after day of seeing it sitting on the floor turns it into a monster of a project. There’s also the little difficulty of all my tools are still semi packed, that means I have to go on a search before I can even start the project. The lawnmower belt has been replaced and afterwards I wanted to check that it worked so I hadn’t put the floor of the mower on, that allowed me to see the belt move. There is a spring that keeps tension on one of the pulleys and I could see the belt was touching the spring. I’ve never seen the belt moving before, so I don’t know if it has touched the spring in the past, but now I know that it’s happening it’s something I’ll continue to worry about. At night our neighbor texted me that they have extra eggs for me, they have chickens and I eat three eggs a day for breakfast, so I had let them know I can eat any extras they have. My wife and I went over to their farm as they had never met her and we got to see more of their set up. They have been here for 14 years and a lot of what they have is what I’d like to build someday. We came home with three dozen eggs and picked a large cup full of fresh strawberries.
